That\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then added, \u201cIf her debut season had been developed under a show contract like the one she currently has, I seriously doubt it would have been greenlit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">The chef, who has cooked for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"King Charles III\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/king-charles\">King Charles<\/a> and serves as a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2075614\/Meghan-Markle-Jameson-Stocks-restaurant\">proud ambassador of the King\u2019s Trust,<\/a> also questioned who was involved in getting the show off the ground for a second season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>He argued that the partnership has damaged <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/netflix\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\">Netflix<\/a>\u2019s image as much as her own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/netflix\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\">Netflix<\/a> are a streaming giant. I think this program doesn\u2019t just look bad on her. It also makes <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/netflix\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\">Netflix<\/a> look average,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Following such strong opinions from the first season, Jameson admitted that he \u201capproached\u201d season two with a complete \u201copen mind\u201d, and was hoping there would be a huge shake up to improve this season, which he truly welcomed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>However, he was quick to say \u201cBarely two minutes into the opening credits, I found myself wondering why I was even watching this nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conversation between her and Daniel [Martin] was about as engaging as watching a sheep graze. It felt just as staged and artificial as The Truman Show. When Daniel turns around and says, \u2018I can\u2019t believe they\u2019re coming,\u2019 referring to the two celebrity guests, I couldn\u2019t help but think, seriously? <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/netflix\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\">Netflix<\/a> is paying these people to show up\u2014they\u2019re not here for the fun of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jameson went further, saying Meghan \u201ccomes across as spoilt and privileged, and even her interactions with her so-called friends on the show feel staged, fake, and awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks has weighed in on Meghan Markle\u2019s future after attempting to binge-watch the latest instalment of her show, With Love, Meghan.
